Okay, so I have a huge problem that I've been trying to fix for days, whenever I click on anything inside of my project the whole screen just flickers and when I use effects, it flickers, basically just when I do anything, it flickers like crazy, even when I'm previewing. There's a video attached to this post where you can see the problem, I really hope someone can help me🙏

There must be a solution...

I'm having an issue with after effects on windows where panning around the composition page, playing the project, or doing anything will cause the composition window to flicker. I've tried disabling harware accelereation, updating driver, updating after effects, but the issue is still persisting.

Is there anything that can be done to fix this as the program runs alright besides this issue.

I'm attaching my system specs as well as a recording of the problem in action.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing the details. I am investigating a similar issue. Do you have a dedicated GPU installed? If yes, could you share the make and model and the version of the driver that's installed? Here's an article that should help you with that: https://adobe.ly/3FZNPBw

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,
Nishu

Hey Max, thanks for trying some of these workarounds. Does the beta version show this flickering issue on your computer? Here's how to download the beta version of After Effects: https://adobe.ly/3Gj7g8e

Sorry for the frustration, we'll help however we can.

A friend of mine is having the same problem. Disabling acceleration doesn't help. Works fine in 2024 but doesn't in any version of 2025.

I am having this exact same issue in 25 and in the Beta. There is no rhyme or reason to it. The only work around I have found is that I switch back and forth between the Beta and 25 and immedialy render without previewing the timeline. I can't open the project in '24 because the client created it in 25. This needs to be addressed immediatly by Adobe as this has added an immense amount of time to my workflow!
